I also enjoyed the hundreds chart puzzles! It is such a great way for students to physically put together and visually see and recognize counting to 100 & numeral patterns! This type of activity really sticks with children as they continue on further to think back to! #411MNSUF19

I really enjoyed this activity as well! This manipulative incorporated all the mathematical proficiency strands very strongly! I will totally use this activity in my future classroom! #411MNSUF19

The activity “Four in a Row on a Hundreds Chart” is great for getting students minds thinking in a different and fun way! This is awesome for challenging students about their 1-100 numbers to see how well they can do! #411MNSUF19

The activity “Race to a Hundred” is a great manipulative to incorporate for students to master the place value system and work on their addition in an enjoyable way! #411MNSUF19

If timed tests do more harm then good WHY are they still being used? There are so many other great alternatives we can use as teachers. Do we really still need to be doing more harm to students then good with these tests? #411MNSUF19, #NCTMNash19

Why? This is the beginning of the path to math anxiety in our children. #NCTMNash19 @JEFCOED

[Madalyn Malecha @MadalynMalecha]

As teachers we don't want students to just memorize mathematical concepts such as multiplication. We want a concept to be authentic to them so they don't forget it as they would with just memorizing. Memorizing a concept is not understanding or learning. #411MNSUF19, #NCTMNash19

[Diana Williams @mrs_d_williams1]

Understanding multiplication is much more than reciting and memorizing facts. #NCTMNash19 #mathisfun

Using visualization is so powerful in all subjects. To get students to the point of being able to "see" the problem and how to solve it through their mind, just as they can see a character through a story is a huge mathematical accomplishment! #411MNSUF19, #NCTMNash19

[Gina Picha, Ed.D. @ginapicha]

During reading instruction we teach kids to visualize. We must do this in math. When a child hears a quantity-they should “see” more than the numeral. #NCTMNash19 @BuildMathMinds

What a great hands-on activity for students to learn place value! Using every day objects or toys for the students is a great way to get students involved! @MrsDavisFRSD #411MNSUF19

[Justice Lehmann @JusticeLehmann]

This is a cool activity for students to get their minds thinking about place value & also a way to make it fun & interactive! We need to remember that not all students are visual learners & a lot are hands on so we need to have activities to meet all needs. #411MNSUF19 @the39er

[Madalyn Malecha @MadalynMalecha]

On which is @BerkeleyEverett's blog there are multiple videos that you can play for your students to show them other representations of the place value system other than your own! This is something your class can watch together, discuss, and then practice! #411MNSUF19

Would you rather share the big chocolate bar(2.8 oz) (on the left) with 1 friend, or share the entire bag of mini chocolate chips (9 oz) (on the right) with 5 friends? @Jstevens009 #WYRmath #411MNSUF19

Having fun in Boston #sidewalkmath #NCTMBoston19. Do you have a response?

[Chrissy Newell @MrsNewell22]

Thinking about the important work of equity in mathematics with @e_jordanthomas as she kicks off #NCTMBoston19

[Graham Fletcher @gfletchy]

Something we should all consider. @TracyZager pushing back on some of our deeply rooted practices. #NCTMBoston19

[Andrew Burnett @andburnett123]

Sidewalk math outside #NCTMBoston19. Pretty cool!! We need more of this.

Which pop tart would you rather eat?🤔 #WMRmath #411MNSUF19 @Jstevens009

Would you rather have 10 pennies or 5 dimes? #WYRmath #411MNSUF19 @Jstevens009

Parents are busy no matter what color their skin is but especially those of color. Instead of giving them one time and date they need to be at ANOTHER place, create a creative way to fit in their realities instead of just one side. #411MNSUF19

[Madalyn Malecha @MadalynMalecha]

This is so horrible. Students should be who they are and they should be supported and encouraged. Not to correct and fix who they are. This is so sad. Everyone should just be accepted for who they are and no try to be somebody they aren't! #411MNSUF19

@shadow_uzumaki I want to learn that same thing. I learned to code switch because I either “talked white” or I didn’t speak “correctly”. I learned to code switched to survive in both communities. #Educolor
